Largest Camera Obscura ever

The worlds largest pinhole camera, or camera obscura, was contructed with a abandoned F-18 hanger. Artists used 1.5 MILES of black gorrilla tape and 40 gallons of black spray paint to make tha hanger light-tight. the goal was to make a black and white picture of the Marine Corps air station with the San Juaquin hills in the background.  A huge piece of muslin cloth was made light sensitive by coating it with 80 litres of gelatin silver hilade. The resulting finished print was nearly 108 ft (33 m) wide and 85 ft  high and was exhibited for the first time at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, on September 6, 2007. Quite a bit bigger than mine.

Book Review

I was just reading The House of Scorpions, by Nancy Farmer.

The scoop: NO GOOD!

The plot is very odd, involving a a main character who is a clone of a man who will live forever because of brain implants. This doesn't even include eejits, who are people with brain implants to dull their intelligence and free will. Did I mention that the entire story evolves around opium drug fields? This book is seemingly creepy for creepy's sake, and gets weirder by the chapter.

If this sounds entertaining to you, then have fun, but I don't recommend this book to anyone.
